Today I spoke to a class of high school seniors at Packer Collegiate Institute. They are planning to conduct oral history interviews regarding the current financial crisis. The students had insightful questions about how to handle the subject of Money which stirs up all kinds of emotions in people no matter how the global economy is faring.
Some students plan to interview their parents who work in the financial field and so, we talked about how intimacy can sometimes add to an oral history interview and sometimes it can make certain things more difficult to talk about. I think it's a great project for young people to undertake and I can't wait to hear how it goes - I'll keep the blog posted.
